Gentamicin, sold under brand names Garamycin among others, is an antibiotic used to treat several types of bacterial infections.[1] This may include bone infections, endocarditis, pelvic inflammatory disease, meningitis, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and sepsis among others. It is not effective for gonorrhea or chlamydia infections.
Rod Details. The rods are the most numerous of the photoreceptors, some 120 million, and are the more sensitive than the cones. However, they are not sensitive to color. They are responsible for our dark-adapted, or scotopic, vision.The rods are incredibly efficient photoreceptors.owever, they are not sensitive to color. The 6 to 7 million cones provide the eye's color sensitivity and they are much more concentrated in the central yellow spot known as the macula. In the center of that region is the  fovea centralis , a 0.3 mm diameter rod-free area with very thin, densely packed cones.
This phenomenon is called adaptation, and the particular direction I just mentioned, where you adjust from the light to the dark, is called dark adaptation. This figure shows the results of an experiment that quantifies this common experience. A subject was exposed to a bright adapting light, and then (while in the dark) their threshold was measured for detecting a very weak test light at various times after exposure to the bright light. The test light was violet in color.
